Underdog ResQ

Underdog ResQ is an "equal opportunity" dog rescue specializing in difficult-to-place breeds and dogs affected by breed-specific legislation. I volunteered my photography and design services from 2006 through 2013. I created a yearly fundraising calendar, designed various promotional flyers and web banners to build awareness of Underdog ResQ, and held holiday photo sessions with proceeds donated to the organization.

Underdog ResQ is an "equal opportunity" dog rescue specializing in difficult-to-place breeds and dogs affected by breed-specific legislation. I volunteered my photography and design services for this worthy cause; I created a yearly calendar showcasing dogs' stories, designed various promotional flyers and web banners to help raise awareness of Underdog ResQ, and held holiday photo sessions with proceeds donated to the organization.

"Her graphic design projects have included newsletters, e-newsletters, our 2010 and 2011 calendars, logo design, flyers, marketing images, event invitations and more. These materials have allowed us to raise funds. ...In addition, she has helped get hard to place dogs adopted by portraying them in beautiful images as a result of her photo shoots which have taken place inside and outside....

...She can make a senior brindle pit bull look like the most beautiful dog. Despite this being a volunteer job Tammy maintains a very professional work ethic. ...She is very easy to work with and a pleasure to have around. She goes out of her way to offer her creative eye in a professional manner and accepts new ideas willingly. As the founder of the organization I consider Tammy's work invaluable as it makes our organization stand out amongst many because of the creative flare we are able to bring to our marketing and promotional materials. Tammy is a fun person to have around and she has a heart of gold." (Yelp review excerpt from Lina H., Underdog founder)

This is Joey, who overcame paralysis in his hind legs due to the efforts of Underdog ResQ. They asked me to create a card that would celebrate the adoption anniversary of Underdog ResQ's dogs. Isn't he just handsome?

"We have been so fortunate to have Tammy as a volunteer designer and photographer. She does events and photographs our dogs for our annual calendar, and does some really creative graphic design. I knew of Tammy, but actually had the pleasure of meeting her last month when she photographed my 10 month old foster for the 2011 calendar, a mastiff mix who was not accustomed to sitting still or listening to commands. Tammy is so gentle and patient, and has a wonderful repoire (sic). The pictures are beautiful and I ask myself how did she get him to pose like that? Tammy put me to ease during the session as well. Absolutely beautiful work! The lighting and texture are glorious." (Yelp review excerpt from Sue Carter, Underdog volunteer
